Singular Attempt to Shoot a Young Woman near Ga insborough On Saturday last Xartha Howell, of Sp r ingthorpe, near Gainsborough, was brou g ht up in custody, before Sir Henry Hickman Bacon, Bait., at the police-station, Gainsborough, charged with having, on the 17th instant, at Corringham, attempted to shoot another young person named Emma Johnson. Emma Johnson having been sworn said,—l live at Gainsborough. On the evening of the 17th inst., about a i s f p l e n w d o u s l u d n g d o a y t o w S a p h r i h n e g r t . h osr She e e r t e h m e afollowing aboutS atusredvaeyn, qu arter to six, the pris oner carne to our house and asked m an e d o'clock, At that time four young ladies and myself set off to go part of the way home with the prisoner. On the road the prisoner frequently asked me to go and stay with her; I said I could not. When we arrived at the wood side, at Somerby, where there is a footpath alongside of it leading across a field, T - gave way for tho prisoner to go through the ha ndgate first; she turned when 115 about a yard or se f rom 3 , and pulling a pistol f ro m her pocket, said, " I'll sh oot y ou ;" I said "No don't." She pointed the pistol close to my right ear and fired it; I felt the fire upon my face, and something seem ed to go through my ear. I fell down, and after about half a minute I got up, and the prisoner had moved eto the opposite side of me. She had the pistol in her hand, and was feeling in her p oc ket, I ran away and the prisoner s h ou ted to the other girls t o hold me. Sh e ran after me a short dis tance. I we nt to Mr Ranby's farm house, about 3' back to Gainsborough. They (t r s sent for a Polic eman. I have not seen the prisoner since un til this mor ning. Abo u t a year and a half ago the prisone r tried to bri ng we into a f a mily quar rel of her's. We load some words at the time, and since that time we have never been so friendly as we were before. t Several times since then I have bee n to her h o use to stay all night. When I have been te aching th e g irls at the prisoner's m usic, si :always sl ept With her, and she ah a s mpistolan timestya school mehs t gorteuptu in he middle of the night and pointed to shoot tee. I did not know else in the house beside s our two selves. She had often complained t wthasatloladded idnoortngoot.s so Tmhueerhe was generally none to stay with her, but I went to her friends with whom s h e had quarrelled. I always considered her a very passionate woman. Elizabeth Milburn said—l live at S pringthorpe. On the evening of the 17th inst. I went into the prisoner's house, she having sent for m e, as she was very poorly. She said, " Give me a little port er, I ' m ver y il l." I said, " What is the matter ?" and she replied , 'Do take my cloth off.". She looked very much excited. S he said, " I may vs well confess to you. I've shot Miss Johnson." I said, "Surely, to the Lord, not." She said, " I have." I said, " D 3 you think you have shot her?" She replied, " Yes, and I'm only sorry I've not shot her dead." I said, " What have you shot her with ?" She replied, "A. pistol—it is in my pocket.' I looked in her pocket and found the pistol pro duced, two balls and some shot wrapped in brown paper, a little powder, and two caps, The pistol was very bloody. I was very much frightened and kept the pistol. Her right hand was hurt. _ _ _ On being cross-examined by the prisoner, the witness replied she (prisoner) said, " I intended to shoot Miss John son, and then to shoot myself and die at her feet." After the superintendent of police had deposed to appre hending the prisoner and to her admitting that she had shot Miss Johnson, the magistrate committed her for trial at the next Lincoln assizes.—Leeds Mercury. MR. BALFE'S NEW COMIC OPERA is entitled " The Sleeping Queen," the property of Cramer, Wood, and Co. It is founded on a Spanish romance, and is written is Mr, Bailee airiest and happiest vein. The Naval Fight off Cherbourg. Several of the French papers contain descriptions of the engagement off Cherbourg on Sunday last, but they add little to the facts already known in England. La France, however, publishes a special account, from which the following particulars are extracted—" The Alabama had been several days in port repairing, when the firet-class corvette Kearsage, of the Federal navy, anchored in the roads to watch her adversary. The next day some provocation ensued, and Capt. Semmes, the com mander of the Confederate ship, decided that although weaker the Alabama should accept battle, which took place on the forenoon of Sunday, the 19th. On that day the Alabama was punctual. At 8 o'clock in the morning the captain assembled his crew, and in a fervid oration announced that the time had arrived for them to conquer or die. His speech was received with cries a thousand times repeated, of ' Hurrah for the South,' Cheers for Lee and for his army,' Cheers for France, the only nation who generously and impartially carries out her neutrality Capt. Semmes then referred to his recent letter on naval belligerent rights, and con cluded his speech by saying that that document had been drawn up in order that the truth might be known in case he should perish.' At half-past nine, after clearing for action, the Alabama, which was under steam all the morning, banked up her fires, and left her anchorage to take the open. The whole population of Cherbourg was on the port, on the breakwater, on the heights—in fact, on every point where a view of the battle could be obtained. When the Alabama, as she got under weigh, ran up the Confederate flag at her mainmast and saluted it with a salvo of guns, innumerable cheers arose. The sympathy of the population was evidently with the South. The Ala bama having left the port, at about half-past ten was nearly nine miles out, and commenced the battle by a daring movement, running towards the Kear sage to board her. The Federal corvette understood the movement, and succeeded in turning and avoid ing her adversary. The Kearsage had been ar• moured during the night with her chain cables, and to this particular advantage she united that of a heavier armament, and a more numerous crew; notwithstanding which the Confederate ship appeared to have the advantage, and again manoeuvred to board the Federal corvette, when she received a rifle projectile, which passed right through her boiler and paralysed her movements." The subsequent sinking of the Alabama and the saving of the captain and crew is then described—" A short time afterwards the Kearsage came into the port bringing her prisoners. She anchored close to the steamship Napoleon. She soon received many visitors. The Kearsage has suffered much ; she has twelve shots in her hull. Her crew was superior to that of her adversary, who only mustered 134 men ; but the crew of the Alabama, used to boarding, would infallibly have captured the Kearsage if she could have been laid alongside. Captain Semmes was adored by his crew and by his staff. The wounded sailors from the Alabama, who were taken to the Marine Hospital, where they have been well cared for, said with joy, to everybody by the way, 'The captain is saved, the captain is saved t We shall soon begin again The animosity between the sailors of the South and those of the North is such, that yesterday they endeavoured to fight with knives. The authorities found it necessary to put on foot all the naval gendarmerie, in order to prevent the spilling of blood.'' JURIDICAL SOCIETY, A meeting of this Society was held on Monday n the Society's chambers, St. Martin's-place, Tra- falgar-square, Mr. Clarke in the chair. The paper for the evening was road by Mr. F. WoRSLEY, entitled " Certain propositions for the Relief of the Home Secretary from his present re sponsibility on the conviction of a person for murder, and to substitute an improved procedure." The paper stated that in most criminal offences the judges had a discretionary power in awarding the punishment to be inflicted on the prisoner, except in cases of murder. Even in that crime there were degrees of moral culpability. The power of altering the sentence rested on the supreme power, by whom convictions for murder used formerly to be referred to the Cabinet Council, who found they were totally incompetent to review the facts elicited on the trial of a person for murder. Instead of endeavouring to devise some better tribunal they shifted the responsibility on to the shoulders of one of their own members, the Home Secretary, which was in point of fact going from bid to worse. What choice had they ? Nothing between the judicial and the executive. The execu• tiro had failed, and the judicial was the better tribunal for formally retaining the prerogative of mercy. But it might ba said, if you would not cast it upon an executive officer's shoulders, would you endeavour to cast it on the shoulders of one judicial functionary ? His first proposition was, that on a trial for murder at the assizes, or at the Central Criminal Court, two judges of the superior courts should preside. Second,—On conviction of the pri soner judgment of death should not be immediately pronounced, unless both the judges agreed that the verdict was proper, and that such judgment should follow. But if the said judges did not so agree, or agreed that a sentence of penal servitude for life be pronounced, it should be competent for them to pass such sentence. The third point was, that the judges should have power to adjourn the sentence to the last day of the assizes, but that both judges should preside at the passing of the sentence of death. Fourth,—On the prisoner being called upon to receive sentence of death, that he should be allowed either personally or by counsel to state the grounds of fact for mercy to the court ; and it should be incumbent on the judges to take into consideration such grounds of fact, or any petition laid before them, and it should be competent to them to adjourn the passing of the sentence of death for the considera tion of the said facts or petition. Fifth,—The sheriffs should not execute the sentence of death until ordered by the Home Secretary. Sixth,—lf the said judges, or either of them, report to the Home Secretary that an inquiry should be made into the sanity of condemned prisoners, the Home Secretary should cause such inquiry to be made by competent persons, and upon their certificate of the insanity of the condemned prisoner the Home Secretary should grant an order for his removal to a lunatic asylum. Mr. LAWEANCE was strongly opposed to death punishments, and fully concurred with the sugges tions made by Mr. Worsley, which, he believed, were too limited• The prerogative of mercy did not now exist in the Crown, but in a Government official. Mr. J. 0. GRIFFITS was also favourable to the abolition of the punishment of death, and he con. curred that no trial for murder should take place unless in the presence of two judges, and that two judges should be present when sentence was passed; and if one was of opinion the sentence of penal ser vitude should be carried out, that the sentence of death passed by the other judge should not have its e ff e ct. He suggested that in case of murder a plea of not guilty should be always entered. Mr. E. WEBSTER strongly opposed the proposi tions of Mr. Worsley, urging that the multiplica tion of judges would render conviction difficult and uncertain, and assuming that death punishments were necessary for the prevention of crime, he would leave the whole responsibility on the jury. He was strongly favourable to the right of appeal in cri. urinal cases. Mr. C. H. HOPWOOD objected to the introduction of a second judge. After some further conversation, thanks were voted to Mr. Worsley for his paper, and the pro ceedings were brought to a close. STAMPED'....Sd. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the department of jurispru• dance and amendment of the laws of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science was held on Monday at the offices, 3, Waterloo-place, Pall mall. Lord Brougham occupied the chair. Mr. Randall, the assistant secretary, read the re port of the standing committee, which stated that the union of the Law Amendment Society with the Association for the Promotion of Social Science would materially assist the general development of the association. Since the union 1 1 meetings had been held and six papers read. Sir Walter Crofton read a paper on the present aspect of the convict question, showing that the views consistently main tained by the society and the association had been adopted by the penal servitude commissioners of the House of Lords. A paper by Mr. Palmer dealt with the present mode of reviewing the sentence of our criminal courts in capital cases. A paper on the abolition of capital punishment was read by Mr. Webster. The County Courts Act Amendment Bill had been fully considered by a committee of the society. Mr. Hastings, in a paper read on the 18th of April last, proposed to abolish the unsatis factory jurisdiction still left to the Ecclesiastical Courts, and advocated the establishment of a court having probate, matrimonial, divorce, legislation, admiralty, and ecclesiastical jurisdiction. The concentration of the law courts had also been ' brought under the notice of the department. With respect to the Attorneys and Solicitors' Remune ration Bill, the committee thought that a measure involving changes of that kind should receive the early attention of the department. The question of Law Reporting, the Transfer of Land, Partnership, Law Amendment, Copyright, Justice Procedure Bill, Corruption at Elections, the Bankruptcy Laws, Chancery Funds Commission, and other important questions had been brought under the notice of the department, into the details of which the report went at very great length. On the motion of Mr. Pollard Urquhart, M,P., seconded by Sir E. Wilmot, The report was adopted. A vote of thanks to the venerable chairman closed the proceedings. The Railway ' Collision at Egham. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the five persons killed by the collision at Egham, on the Ascot Day, was resumed yesterday, for the fourth time, before Mr Woods, the coroner, The London and South Western Railway Company, and the friends and relatives of the deceased, were repre sented by the same solicitors as on the previous occasions. The first witness called was John Ren shaw, the guard of the train which came into colli sion with the one leaving the station, The witness was cautioned by the coroner that any evidence which he gave might in future be used against him. The evidence given by him on the previous sitting of the jury was also read over to him. The exami nation by the coroner was then proceeded with. Witness having stated that he had received in structions for the train to stop at Staines, proceeded to say—l was aware that an up-train had left the station before I did, but I don't know the exact time. I only know that trains were being started at about six minntes'interval. I was not aware that the train which left immediately bef.)re nine was to stop at Egham. I was not informed of it, to my recollection. I was in the van next to the engine. The tender was in front of the engine. The usual communication between the guard and the engine was not then in play. It is part of my duty to keep a good look-out, both backwards and forwards, and on both sides of my van. The Coroner—The rule of the company says that the guard is responsible for the communicator being attached. Why was it not so then ? Witness—Because the tender was first. We can not attach it then. When I see a danger signal, or anything likely to be attended with danger to the train, it is my duty to apply the brake directly. It the communicator were not in working order I should apply the brake as hard as possible. On approaching Strood level crcsaing, I noticed the caution signal of a signalman on, and likewise at Virginia Water. There is no signal at Strood, but a man with a green flag was standing there. In my opinion at these places we were travelling quite 40 miles an hour. After passing Strood the engine driver did not slacken his speed. There was also a caution signal at Rusham-gate. I don't know what distance this is from Strood crossing. I was on the look out when we passed Rusham-gate. When I first saw the signal at this gate I was about a quarter of a mile distant. It was on at danges first. The driver had not then slackened his speed before I noticed the signal being on. When I saw the signal on 1 applied my brake immediately. The brake checks all four wheels of the van. The brake was in good working order, and acted when I applied it. The engine did not then slacken in speed, but I kept my brake tight on all the time. I did not, accord iug to the rule, take my brake off and reapply it, because it would have increased the danger. Mr. Crombie—He exercised great discretion in not taking the brake off under the circumstances. Examination continued—l thought it best to keep the brake tight on. It only acts upon the van. Notwithstanding this the train did not slacken till we got nearly to the auxiliary signal below Egham. I don't know that I should have made use of the communicator had it been in play. I cannat say where the engine driver applied his brake, nor can I say that I observed if the steam was shut off at any point between Rusham and the auxiliary. I did not see that the engine was reversed ; but I have every reason for thinking it was, from the engine's slackening speed. I cannot say if the brake in the rear van was applied. The speed was reduced be.. i le an i tween the auxiliary and Eg ham t o about 2 5 Miles an hour, and when we p assed the Egham s l gates hour. s hould say we were g oin g at about 16 m I first noticed the t rain at Egham station when I go t through the foot bridge. I was then moving slowly out of the station. I started the train at Ascot under the directions of Mr. Scott. I saw both the engine driver and fireman on the engine when the train eta rted. I did not observe any third per son with them. After the train had started we did not stop anywhere, so that no one could have got u p. 1 received no instructions that day as to the rate of speed at which I was to travel. No part of the special instructions referred to the rate of speed except when the engine drivers are requested to drive with more than usual caution. It is rather uphill from Ascot, and we did not keep the same rate of speed all the way. I travelled during that day once down and once up. By Colonel Yolland—We were not travelling past Strood and Rusham-gate at an unusual speed. Be tween Strood and Rusham-gate crossing the driver did not whistle for the signal to be taken off. I can not say it was taken off. The driver first whistled just before the auxiliary signal. He gave one whistle first and then two sharp whistles. He was then running at between 35 and 40 miles an hour. When I saw the signal I did not notice anything on the road. The signal that stood at "danger" .meant that the previous train had not g one five m mutes. It is the practice to slacken sp eed till the signal is taken off, but it is not the pr actice to stop dead. If the signal at Rusham-gate had been taken off the driver would understand that the previous train had gone by five minute s. I cannot say that it was not taken off. When I saw the auxiliary signal on I noticed also the red flag. I then thought there was danger, and if the communicator had been attached I think I should have called the driver's r attention to it. There were two signals against us —the auxiliary and the standard. I first put my brake on about a quarter of a mile below Rusham g- ase The wheels of the brake were not skidded all the way. I am sure the speed was reduced to 15 miles an hour when the collision took place. I could By Mr Crombie—When I started it wag 7A6, and we arrived at 7.29. I timed myself before I got out of my train. Whe n I go t ou t I sent a man back some distance down the line. By Mr. Chubb—l was furnished with instruc tions. I did not say to any one that there were in.. structions I could not carry out. By Mr. .Rawlings—l have been in the service' of the company since August, 1846. I took the Host of guard in 1854. I was guard for six weeks wl ten the branch first opened. I don't remember seei ng a man with a red fisg between the wooden bridge and Egham Station. I saw a man with a red fizg• at the station. There was a'so ore at the auxiliary. I can swear that I saw him myself as the train. passed. I left London that evening. I did not 2.top. at Egham going down. An nrdinar3 train goes out with three guards' brakes. A regular train would be made up differently to a special. I first saw the train in the station just ac I passed the wooden bridge, but it was not in cons: quence of this that I applied my brake. I had five passengers in my van. It was by nobody's authority ; the people jump in themselves; there is no keeping them out at those times. I will swear that my duties were not interfered with by their presence. It is con trary to rule to allow them to ride, but I can do nothing in race times—they will get in. I believe all the carriages of the train were filled. I said, " Yeu can't get in here,gentlemen;" bat they said, "We must; we want to get to town." They jump in just as the train is starting. They always ride in the brake vans at race times. I was not in con versation with the people in my van. After some farther evidence, the inquiry was ad journed. Next Morning Performance, Saturday, May 7, at three.

Thomas Blackburn, 28, alias " Lurcher ," printer ; Thomas Gardner, 21, waiter; and Thomas Jones, 19, weaver, were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Palmer, and stealing therein a plate-basket and other articles, value £6, hie property. Sarah Palmer, wife of the prosecutor, said she lived at Richmond-cottages, London-fields, Hackney, and on May 24, at about half-past two in the after noon, in consequence of something that was told her, she went into a front room and there missed a plate-basket and its contents from a sideboard.. When she missed the things the room window was open, but it had been previously closed. Amongst the things stolen was a pair of nutcrackers. Henrietta Palmer, daughter of the prosecutor, said she was at home when this matter happened, and was looking out of the top room window at half past two in the afternoon. She saw the prisoners in a field opposite, walking backwards and forwards. Another persoa was also lying down in the field, and he was one of the witnesses for the prosecution. Arthur Wm. Palmer, a little boy, son of the pros (mentor, said he saw the prisoner Jones on the day this happened, and he came to their house and knocked at the door, and on its being opened he asked if there was any china or glass to mend. He told him he would go and see, and was absent two or three minutes, and when he came back the prisoner was still at the door. He told him there was nothing to mend, and he went away. George Cunningham, a lad, said he was a brick layer, living at 19, Duncan-street, Hackney, and on the day of this occurrence he was in a field oppo site to Mr. Palmer's house. He saw the three pH. sonars standing near a partition in the field opposite Mr. Palmer's house. He saw Jones go to the hankie and knock at the door, and after being away a short time he returned to the others in the field, After wards he saw Gardener go to the house, get in at the area window, and soon afterwards come out with a plate-basket, which he covered over with his ar t - iron. While Gardener was in the house the other men were walking up and down, and they kipt looking about them. When Gardener came back from the house he gave the basket to Jones, and they all walked away together. Gardener opened the area window by forcing back the fastening with a knife. The basket was covered by Gardener with his apron too quick for him to see what was its s'n and sh ape. When he saw this, he told the landlady of the house that a robbery lac.d been committed, and that the thieves had gone towards Shoreditch Church. Gardener cross-examined this witness, and wanted to know how it was that as there were many people in the field he did not at once give an alarm, and he replied that be was afraid to do so, or something might have been done to him. Only on Saturday last he was knocked down in the Broadway, at Hackney, and very seriously beaten by three men, whom he did not know. Richard Clark, police-constable 223 N, said, on the 27th May be saw all the prisoners together, they having come out of the Vinegar-ground, in Old-street.road. He took Gardener into custody, telling him that he wanted him for stealing a plate basket and a quantity of plate from a house in London-fields, Hackney, to which he made no reply. The witness Cunningham was present at the time, end he had given previously a description of all the prisoners. On the person of Gardener he found the knife produced, which could be used for the pug pose of forcing back the fastenings of windows. John Gardener, 493 N, said he took Bl ackburL, and afterwards went to his lodgings at No. 17, Sun street, Vinegar-ground, St. Luke's, where he found the large bunch of skeleton keys produced in the drawer in the looking-glass; also a centrebit and file. William Dew, another constable of the N divi sion, said he also went to the same house as the above, and in a room occupied by Blackburn and Jones he found a jemmy and a pair of nutcrackers, the latter identified by Mrs. Palmer as being one of the stolen articles. Thomas Robinson said that the prisoners lodged in his house,No. 17, Sun-street, St. Luke's, The Assistant• Judge summed up the evidence, and The Jury immediately returned a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners. Blackburn and Jones were then charged with having been previously convicted, to which indict , ment they pleaded guilty. Sergeant Franklin, 13 E division, said that Black. burn, alias Thomas Richardson, was sentenced on the 30th March, 1850, to two months' imprisonment for picking pockets; in the name of Thomas Keen, he was sentenced to one month on the sth of June, 1851 ; in the name of Thomas Cook, 12 months on the 9th of July, 1855 ; in the name of Thomas Wil• son, at Clerkenwell Sessions, three months on the 19th May, 1857 ; in the name of Thomas Richard son, one month on the sth of November, 1857 ; in the name of Thos. Richardson, six years' penal servia tude at the Centra l Criminal Co urt on the 13th of pecembeilBsB. He was liberated w ith a ticket of leave which would expire in December next. Smith, police-constable 99, proved three previous ting in December, 1859. commencing on the Bth of co nvictions s a B g , a n i n n d st te J r o na n i e n s a , Christopher Gould, police constable 187 N, said Jones was tried at Clerkenwell Sessions on June 18, 1860, for breaking into a dwelling -house, and sen tenced to three years' penal servitude. Since then, on the 14th of March, 1863, he had served one month for illegal possession of a silk umbrella. No previous conviction was proved against Gardener. give Gardener The Assist an t-J u d ge sa id h e w ould the benefit of nothing being known against him, believing that he had been employed by these notorious thieves to get into the window, and he thought public justice would bo stistie , d 'cry his being imprisoned and kept to ham labour for 18 months. As regarded Jones, he tied been sen tenced to penal servitude for three years, and after that he had been found in possession of stolen pro perty. The sentence of the Court, therefore, on h;rn would be five years penal servitude. As respected Blackburn, he appeared to be a notorious thief, and had been sentenced to six years penal servitude in 1858, and that time had not vet expired. In his case the public must b e protec t e d, an d the sentence upon him 'was that he be kept in penal servitude for ten years. THE NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF "LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET," &C.
